2020 Audi A4
45 TFSI quattro Premium Plus AWD
99,070 mi
$17,999
Overview

The 2021 Audi A4 gets new standard features and options to follow up last year’s mid-cycle refresh. Currently, in its fifth generation, the A4 competes against other small luxury cars such as the BMW 3 Series, Genesis G70, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
The small sedan’s exterior goes unchanged since it still looks good from last year’s updates. It’s athletic and graceful, with LED front and rear lighting adding plenty of brightness. A Black optic package, with a choice between 18- and 19-inch wheels, is available for Premium Plus and Prestige trims of the 45 model.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission carry over, but the setup now gets a 12-volt mild-hybrid system and a bump of 13 horsepower. This increases output to to 201 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque in 40 models, and 261 hp and 273 lb-ft in 45 models. All-wheel drive (AWD) is now standard across the lineup as well.
Audi hasn’t mentioned trim level changes for 2021, so expect the Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims to carry over. Premium includes rain-sensing windshield wipers, keyless entry and push-button start, a sunroof, heated front seats, and heated mirrors. With Platinum Plus, you’ll get the Virtual Cockpit information display and driver's seat memory functions. Prestige adds ambient lighting, heated rear seats (new for this year), and more subtle upgrades, like better insulation from road noise.
Standard tech features include a 10.1-inch touchscreen display, Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay (new for this year), a 10-speaker audio system, and a new integrated toll transponder. Options include satellite radio, WiFi, extra USB ports, and a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.
The 2021 A4 hasn’t yet been tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), but the 2020 model fared well. From NHTSA, it earned a 5-star overall rating (out of 5), and IIHS awarded the highest rating of Good in all six crash tests. Standard safety features include a reversing camera, low-speed forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. Lane-departure warning is now standard for 2021. For options, buyers can add a 360-degree camera system, a hands-on detection steering wheel, adaptive cruise control with active lane assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear-crash warning and intervention, and front and rear parking sensors.
With new standard technology and more options, the 2021 Audi A4 remains an enticing option in the luxury sedan segment.

Pros:smaller steering wheel, made for speed, gas mileage, heated seats, bright lights, lots of controls on steering wheel, Cons: small backseat, difficult to see in rear view mirror with middle seat headrest in & up, light doors, glove box difficult to close, side panel in trunk already loose, have to buy navigation packet to get navigation (but have ability to use Nav. on CarPlay) but still shows on screen , small front storage area and drink holders right up next to dash, so doesn’t fit a bigger mug

For you, that means it fits best if you want a refined daily driver with a strong tech focus and usable all-around manners. 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.
Is the 2021 Audi A4 reliable?
Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The 2021 Audi A4 is presented as a well-rounded, usable luxury sedan with a reputation for being a good used-car value, especially for shoppers who want technology and everyday practicality in one package. Its strengths center on balance rather than extremes, which usually helps ownership feel predictable if you keep up with maintenance. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is choosing a neglected example, so condition and service history matter more than chasing the lowest price.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Audi A4?
At 74.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection on any car that looks unusually cheap. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the cabin and technology features still work as expected.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Audi A4?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find value.
- Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 337 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.93% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 74.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $21,478, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Audi A4's resale value?
The current average of $21,733 sits slightly below last year's $23,606.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. If you plan to resell later, the softer current pricing may limit near-term appreciation, but it can also make the car easier to move if you buy well. A clean, well-kept example should hold up better than one with accident history or visible wear.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Audi A4 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 74.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.93% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $23,158, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $21,733 average.
- It feels remarkably fresh and brings a rock-solid structure with modern technology.
The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2021 is the smarter primary path because pricing has eased and deal availability is decent. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer-feeling alternative, the 2022 is the secondary path for price-sensitive buyers who still want the same basic formula with a fresher presentation.
